Vandenberg is a better pick.
Or Schriever Air Force Base. Since this is going to grow out of the current Air Force Space Command, and the 50th Space Wing has long been headquartered at Schriever, and there is plenty of room to grow out there, no other missions to impede or interfere with (ie the Air Force could eventually give SAFB over to a separate Space Force without losing anything else)... I’ll bet you it goes to Colorado.
When California declare nationhood or does something else really crazy, we lose Vandenberg
“Vandenberg is a better pick.”
Naw. Not CA, nope.
I was stationed there long ago, btw. Many stories to tell...
U.S. Space Command was at Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs, Colorado from 1985-2002 when it was deactivated. If they want to move it somewhere else, there are plenty of locations outside of Florida:
Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama
Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, California
Buckley AFB, Denver, Colorado
“Vandenberg is a better pick.”
Surely (I know; “don’t call me Shirley”) you jest!
California? Absolutely, positively, no WAY! They despise us and we need to take sh!t FROM them; not give them stuff.
Agree.
Anywhere but CA.
